Ascension of the Monster Queen

Sai left staring at Nessa and she pulled her hand away from the guy and he spat up blood before falling to the ground in a thud and she looked at him and her eyes narrowed.

"I am not going to let you guys do as you please here, you target our home and you will regret it," She said as her eyes glowed slightly purple.

Nessa turned around and she looked at Sai before approaching him and he brought forth his hand and she held onto him.

"Shall we go, lady Nessa?" He asked.

"Yes, Sai, let's go," She responded and he nodded.

Both of them disappeared and as they were heading back home, the ones who were in the conference room, talking about Nessa's nation, meeting came to an end.

"I want to know everything there is to know about the new nation and the one that's leading them, I don't care what it takes and how long, find out, we need to know what the hell is going on, am I clear?" The guy asked.

"Yes," They responded.

"That's all for now, I am going to look into this myself as well," He said before walking away and the others that were there, left as well.

After a few minutes, Nessa and Sai reappeared by the pavilion and the others smiled when they saw them. Nessa glanced at them and when she saw they were waiting for them all the time, she smiled.

"Sorry, that took a while," She said and Riki glanced at her hand and his eyes narrowed.

"We are just glad you are both okay, did you take care of what you needed to?" Liya asked.

"Yes, I did," She responded and the girl sighed in relief.

Riki tapped Nessa on her shoulder and she glanced at him, then he pointed to her hand and when she looked, she sighed.

"There is blood," He said.

"Are you hurt?" Dalia asked and Nessa sighed.

"It's not my blood, it's someone else's," She responded as they exchanged glances.

"Can we get a little bit of clarification?" Riki asked and she looked at him then smiled and patted him on his shoulder.

"Sure," She responded.

'Lady Nessa," Sai said and he passed her a tissue as well as a bottle of water.

She collected them from him, then thanked him and washed her hands with the water and then dried it with the tissue.

"You guys remember the guy that escaped from us, right?" She asked after she sat down.

"Yeah, what about him?" Youthim asked.

"Well, ever since that day I had him followed and the one who assisted in making sure that he doesn't pull any trick while keeping a keen eye on him, is Sai," She responded and they looked at him.

"It makes sense now, that's why you weren't that worried about it before, you already had a plan of your own in action," Riki said and she nodded.

"You are smart, so did you guys find out anything?" Riki asked.

"Yes, we got a name as well, but I won't say it as yet, I have to make sure of a few things first, like the person's real identity and so on, then we will handle it, is that okay with you guys?" She asked as they looked at each other then smiled before nodding.

"We understand, you are being careful, you need to know the important things before even starting to handle it," Yonja responded and she nodded.

"Indeed, but, what I do know for now is that the ones that employed the adventurers were working under someone who is working for the ones that are responsible for everything so far," She added and a smirk appeared on Riki's face.

"Is that so?" He asked and Nessa glanced at him.

"We had already guessed that, but, I certainly can't wait to get my hands on them, when I do..." He responded and Liya hit Riki on his back and he looked at her.

"What?" He asked.

"Your face looked scary there, don't go giving people nightmares tonight, stop it," She responded and his brows twitched.

"You shouldn't be talking about my face when yours is not much different, you can give people nightmares with just a smile and you call yourself a girl," He said and they burst out laughing.

"All right, cool it, you two," Nessa said as she got up and patted them on their shoulder, both of them looked at her then she exhaled deeply.

"Liya, I am feeling a bit thirsty and peckish, can I have something to drink that is a bit refreshing?" She asked and Liya smiled then bowed her head.

"Coming right up, lady Nessa," She responded then left. Nessa sat back down and she glanced at Riley and the girl smiled at her.

'She seems a bit worried, I wonder what it is that she wants to talk about? Did something happen?' Nessa wondered before lowering her head and clutching it.

"Are you okay?" Sai asked and Nessa flinched before grabbing onto his neck and Riki chuckled.

"I am fine," She responded then released his neck and he rubbed it.

"Great reflexes, lady Nessa," He said and she chuckled.

"Thank you, Sai, with you around, it's only bound to get even better," She replied and he chuckled, then Riki smiled upon seeing that and Sai glanced at Nessa.

"I have to be careful," He said and she scoffed.

"Lady Nessa, here," Liya said as she brought a small tray with a few things for her and Nessa collected it then thanked the girl and Liya bowed.

Nessa picked up the glass of cold juice and when she drank it, she exhaled deeply, feeling a bit refreshed then she returned her attention to Riley.

"I thought Kurson would have come with you, that... So, what really brought you all the way here Riley? What is it that you wanted to talk about?" Nessa asked.

"I came here to talk to you about a few things and we might also need your help later on," She responded.

"Oh? I am listening, have something to eat and let's hear it," She said as she handed the girl the tray then Riley thanked her and Nessa smiled at her.
